IDA's Top 25 Documentaries

Earlier this year, in commemoration of our 25th Anniversary, we appealed to our members to weigh in on at www.documentary.org with their Top 25 documentaries of all time. Voters selected from a list of over 700 titles, and could add up to five write-ins. In this section-and on www.documentary.org--is the consensus Top 25, representing a range of styles, sensibilities and eras. While any list is subject to discussion, debate and dispute, we offer these titles as a jumping off point, an opportunity to revisit, reassess and reclaim, and a means to remind you of why you're part of this community in the first place.

Documentary Now! is a loving send up of some of the world’s best-known documentaries. Join us for a screening of "Mr. Runner Up: My Life as an Oscar Bridesmaid" (based on Brett Morgen and Nanette Burstein's The Kid Stays In The Picture) followed by Q&A with stars Fred Armisen and Bill Hader and directors Rhys Thomas and Alex Buono in conversation with Matt Holzman, producer of The Document on KCRW.
